Should I upgrade to Windows 10?

[Raiden60]

I've really got push and pull factors for getting Windows 10. And by that I mean some things want me to get Windows 10, and some things really repulse me. Like the privacy issues. But I'm gonna be using emulators so DX12 would help massively in that and anything else that supports it. I've heard that it lags a bit too, but on a 4690k with an SSD, that shouldn't really be a massive problem for me. That reminds me, I need to update my parts list.

Windows 10 got lot better now. Or should I say the driver support is lot better for Windows 10.

 

Haven't faced any problem since the stable release. Except two times on Nvidia driver crash. But the new drivers fixed it.

 

You should go for it.

What about the privacy issues, are they really a problem?

You can turn it off in the settings. Just google it. It's easy peesy.

which ones? they were never a problem. it's a problem that m$ told people about it. other companies just don't let you disable anything instead and there is no fuss.

Just heard that it was a problem. I guess not, though.

yeah, it was a problem as much as google bots reading your emails is a problem. to 99.8% of the population it's not.

That's not really big of a deal (for me). I didn't even turn it off.

So how did the rest of the PC build go?  Is the i/o shield correctly positioned and all?

Finally, yeah haha

Just took a bit of positioning, not all the standoffs lined up exactly but it still supports the mobo without shorting it out, so it looks great so far. And the lighting looks mega too. Thanks for the help you gave

Glad to hear it.

the only thing i dislike about windows 10 is that i cant choose what "additional updates" i want to install, like its installing/updating drivers for a old mouse ive had connected 2 months ago, once, for like 15seconds just to make sure its still working. but other than that windows 10 is great

Yes. Windows 10 has been really good for me. Just disable all the things under settings - privacy + get this:

https://www.safer-networking.org/spybot-anti-beacon/

 

it disables all privacy-concerning things with register updates and whatnot. It works really well.

Thanks, I'll install that when I get Windows 10.
